Sunday reading on company building and more

An old, I cannot find the date but guess early 2000's, Harvard Business School interview with Tom Murphy (ex-CEO of Capital Cities that's now part of Disney). Some very good food for thought around building a company in no particular order: 1) management running the company like owners for the long-term, 2) responsibility to employees, customers and shareholders, 3) hire smart people and give them responsibility and share of the financial upside, 4) never do improper or unethical things, 5) care about costs, 6) be in a good business.
